Granted: 1906-05-24
Abstract: 14,595. Booth, H. S. July 15. Gas and explosive-vapour engines.-Relates to a rotary engine of the revolving-cylinder type, in which each cylinder drives a pinion in gear with a wheel on the fixed shaft, and which is operated by steam, water, air, or an explosive mixture, and suitable for aerial machines, motor road vehicles, motor boats, &c. The cylinders B are formed in the frame A which rotates about a fixed shaft C. Each piston G drives a crank e<1>, which is carried by the casing A, and to which is fixed a pinion E gearing with a spur-wheel D secured to the fixed shaft C. The pinions E are preferably half the diameter of the wheel D. The rotary motion of the frame, which acts as a fly-wheel, may be transmitted by a chain wheel H. The invention is best adapted to explosion motors, the explosive vapour entering, through the passage a, a chamber b, from which it is led by pipes K to the inlet valves, which are actuated by fixed cams M through the rods m, once during each revolution of the frame A. Electric ignition is employed.

Patent GB-190527094-A (GB)
Title: Improved Starting Mechanism for Motors, especially applicable for Road Motor Vehicles.
Inventor: LEMALE CHARLES
Filed: 1905-12-28
Granted: 1906-07-05
Abstract: 27,094. Lemale, C. Dec. 29, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Turning-gear.-Relates to starting-mechanism for motors, especially applicable to motor road vehicles in which the restarting of the motor is effected by a spiral spring which is in the first instance wound up by the motor, and consists in the means for positively and automatically clutching and unclutching the motor shaft and the shaft of the starting-mechanism. The spring B, Fig. 1, is connected at one end to the casing A and at the other to a sleeve D mounted on a square shaft C, which is kept from rotating backwards by a ratchet arrangement E. When the spring is wound up, the casing A is held by the -brake F, and, when the brake is released, the disk J on the end of the motor shaft is rotated for starting by the spring, through the medium of the casing A and ratchet mechanism G, H. The casing A is thus rotated relatively to the square shaft C, and thereby moves the nut K along the screwed sleeve L, which is mounted on the square shaft C and held against longitudinal movement by spring-pressed stops S. The movement of the nut K compresses the springs M until the stops S are forced back, when the sleeve L springs forward, engaging clutch members N, N<1> and thus clutching the shaft C and the motor shaft together, the motor having by this time been properly started. If the brake F is then applied to the casing A, the spring B is wound up ready for restarting, and the sleeve L moved back into the position shown, so as to disengage the clutches N, N<1>, when the motor shaft revolves freely, the starting-mechanism remaining stationary.

Granted: 1907-04-12
Abstract: 876. Mascord, G. W. Jan. 12. Driving machines by electromotors. - A printing-press or other plant is driven by two electromotors separately or together, and the starting- switches are operated by levers which also operate the clutch mechanism, the arrangement being an improvement on that described in Specification No. 727, A.D. 1904. The operating-lever is made in two parts c, d, the part c being keyed to the spindle e, while the part d is loosely mounted on the spindle. An automatic starter o is provided, and the circuit of its controlling solenoid t is completed by the depression of the pivoted bar m on to the contacts by a pin k as the handle f is moved to the on ' position. After passing the pins j, k, the pin p on the arm d engages the arm c and the two move forward together. The arm c disconnects the slow-motion shaft clutch and puts the main clutch 1 into engagement. Further movement causes the arm q passing over the contacts r to insert resistance in the motor shunt field circuit. The backward movement of the lever may operate brake disks in the clutch 1. A link h joins the clutch-operating levers of the two sets so that both motors may be controlled by either of the operating-levers, and a rheostat y is connected in the two motor fields so that a balance may be secured. The arms c, d may be connected by a screwed pin v, and the back. ward movement of the arm c may be arrested by a stop u. The clutch and shunt fields may be controlled by a separate lever or the clutch mechanism may have a lost-motion arrangement to allow the switch-lever to move completely back over the pins j, k. The driven shafts 2 of each set are connected by a dog clutch and each carries a wheel 3 gearing with a wheel 4 loose on a countershaft 5. The wheel 4 is connected by a clutch 12 to the collar 13 on the shaft 5 which communicates motion to the machine parts. The shaft 5 also carries a bevel-wheel 6 gearing with the wheel 7 on a shaft 8 rotated by worm and wheel gearing.

Patent GB-190604772-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Grinding Machines.
Inventor: PEISELER GOTTLIEB
Filed: 1906-02-27
Granted: 1906-11-22
Abstract: 4772. Peiseler, G. Feb. 27. Work - holders. - The surface to be ground is given a rolling motion in contact with the grindstone. The file blank or other article a to be treated is held in a holder b pivoted at c to the end of a crank d, which may be rocked by a cam or crank X through a rod i. The article a is held in contact with the grindstone h by a roller f, which is operated by a spring or weight acting through a rod e. The rod e is attached to the arm p<1> of the bell-crank lever p. The other arm p<2> carries a pivoted catch q which engages with the arm o<1> of the lever o, the other arm of which carries the roller f. Thus an upward pull on the rod e presses the roller f on the templet g attached to the holder b, and tends to produce a clockwise rotation of the work about its point of contact with the grindstone. This tendency is resisted by the pull along the rod i, which is varied by the rotation of the crank X, causing the work to roll over the grindstone, the motion being clockwise when the tension is reduced. To regulate the length of the portion to be ground, the lengths of the arm k and of the connecting-rod i are varied. The pressure on the various parts of the article to be ground is varied by varying the shape of the templet g. To lift the roller f, so that the holder b may be swung back and the work removed, a handle u is used. This moves a rod v carrying at its end a pawl s, which as the handle u is lifted slips over the teeth of a ratchet bar t. When the force on the handle is removed, the pawl catches in the ratchet bar and supports the pull along the rod e. The catch q and the pawl s are connected by a spring w so that only one can be in action at the same time, so that, as the pawl engages with the ratchet, the catch q releases the lever o and the roller f can be lifted.

Title: Improvements in Pneumatic Coal Stamping Machines.
Inventor: RADFORD RICHARD HEBER
Filed: 1906-02-28
Granted: 1907-02-07
Abstract: 4923. Radford, R. H., [Dillinger Fabrik Gelochter Bleche F. Meguin & Co.]. Feb. 28. Moulding fuel.-Coal is tamped into moulds or a trough m, preparatory to beiug charged into a coke oven, by a pneumatic machine in which the stamper rod d is guided in the working cylinder c. Ascent of the piston b exhausts air from below the piston e and forces air into the space above it, thus depressing the stamper. The piston b, descending by reversal of the compression and exhaustion, raises the stamper, the stroke of which is automatically adjusted. To put the machine out of action, the handle k is operated, turning the combined plug and flap valves j, t, so that the throw of the piston b then always exhausts air from the chamber c' and forces it into the chamber c<2>, and the stamper is accordingly raised till a catch engages the bolt y. A passage w into the top of the chamber c<1> allows compressed air to enter the chamber again to re-start the machine.

Buffers; draw-gear.-Relates to a combined buffer and drawgear for railway vehicles or the like which automatically adjusts itself in the central position, means being provided for the longitudinal adjustment of the draw - bar. The draw-bar 3 enters a casing 4 and is adjusted therein by the engagement of a pin 7, which passes through holes 6 in the casing 4, with one or other of the holes 5, 5<1>, 5<a> in the draw-bar. The pin 7 is operated from a lever 8, which is pivoted at 9, passes through a loop 7<1> on the pin, and may be inserted in a bracket 10, complete removal of the pin being prevented by the engagement of the rear end of the lever 8 with a stop 8<1>. The pin 7 is formed with a bead 7<a> which slides in a groove 3<1> in the draw-bar and limits the motion of the draw-bar when adjusting. The rear end of the casing 4 is connected by a slot 21 and pin 11 to the tail-bolt 12, which is formed with shoulders 12<1> bearing against a buffer plate 13 supported upon bolts 22 so as to slide in vertical guides 14 fixed to the draught-irons 2. The follower plate 16, which is formed with projections 16<1> passing through the buffer plate 13 and bearing against the end of the casing 4, forms a bearing for the spring 17, which encircles the bolt 12 and may be adjusted by cap 18 and nut 19. The lateral movement of the tail-bolt 12 is limited by the engagement of the cap 18 with lugs 20 on the draught-irons. The gear is kept in the central position by the spring 17 which is normally in compression. In modifications, the draw-bar may be made integral with the casing 4 ; or the casing may be omitted and the draw-bar connected to the tail-bolt-
